Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 251 Gu Jia in the Dream (asking for monthly ticket)
Zhong Xiaoqin curled up on the soft sofa, her velvet skirt slipped down to her knees, and her calves wrapped in flesh-colored stockings rested lightly on Lin Yuan's legs.

The warm light outlines the slender and smooth ankles, giving off a soft luster.

Lin Yuan's fingers gently covered it, bringing a smooth and delicate touch.

The soft fleshy feel and the coolness of the stockings interweave to outline the round and delicate lines of the arch of the foot.

Her toes, hidden under the thin fabric, curled up and trembled slightly, allowing Lin Yuan's fingertips to brush against them, and a slight itch climbed up her heart.

"I...it seems to be coming." Zhong Xiaoqin's pretty face flushed and she spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

"Really?" Lin Yuan turned to look at her with a look of surprise.

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded slightly. She bit her lips, but couldn't suppress the upward curve of her mouth. Smile overflowed from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Both of them understood each other tacitly that after this period, they would be able to break through the last layer of barrier.

To be honest, it was not only Lin Yuan who felt itchy, Zhong Xiaoqin felt the same way. Every time Lin Yuan teased her, she felt neither satisfied nor relieved, which made her feel tormented and expectant at the same time.

On Thursday night, Zhong Xiaoqin came back from get off work.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to take her into the bedroom.

Zhong Xiaoqin certainly knew what was going to happen next.

Because she has receded today.

The clothes in front of her body were pressed comfortably by Lin Yuan. Her misty eyes were shy and timid as she looked up at the face so close to her.

The two of them are like two fitting puzzle pieces.

The night is long, and this is just the prologue.

Lin Yuan patted her back gently: "Turn around and face away from me."

Saturday, noon.

Lin Yuan drove Zhong Xiaoqin to the downstairs of her parents' house.

Zhong Xiaoqin sat in the passenger seat with a nervous look on her face. She took a deep breath and constantly prepared herself mentally.

Zhong Xiaoqin's personality is completely different from Gu Jia's. Gu Jia is vigorous and decisive, while Zhong Xiaoqin is a bit indecisive. Thinking about the upcoming conversation with her parents, she feels uneasy.

Lin Yuan looked at her anxious expression and finally couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, I've already told your parents about this."

"Ah?" Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Then why didn't you tell me? No, my parents didn't call me to ask about this."

Lin Yuan patiently explained to her: "I went to your parents' house yesterday and described your situation in a tragic way. When you were pregnant, Chen Yu didn't want the child, so you were subjected to cold violence from him. You became depressed, and your condition gradually improved after the divorce."

"I happened to see you at the hotel, and seeing that you were in a bad mood, I took you back to my house. I said you were just afraid that they would blame you, and you were tangled in your heart countless times, but you never dared to tell them."

"I promised them that I would bring you back this weekend, so they resisted the urge to call you. Otherwise, they would have called you home to find out what happened."

"So when you go up there, try to act as pitiful as possible, so as not to let what I said get away from you."

If Lin Yuan hadn't stepped in, given Zhong Xiaoqin's personality, it would have been hard to say how long she would have been able to tell her parents about this matter.

"So they're not angry, right?" Zhong Xiaoqin clutched the seat belt nervously.

"Uncle is more open-minded and didn't say anything. He was mainly out of concern for you. He couldn't accept some of Aunt's words. She was also worried that you wouldn't be able to live well after the divorce."

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief and her tense body relaxed a little.

Then, the two got out of the car together and walked upstairs.

"Dad, mom."

When Zhong Xiaoqin entered the house and saw her parents, her voice trembled slightly and she couldn't help but shed tears.

It’s nothing else, she just feels that she has let her parents down.

My divorce will definitely attract gossip from outsiders and make my parents lose face.

Mother Zhong hugged her daughter in her arms and patted her back tenderly, her voice full of distress and complaint: "Silly girl, if Xiao Yuan hadn't told us, how long would you have kept it a secret from us? You couldn't sleep all night and felt so uncomfortable, why didn't you tell us?"

Zhong Xiaoqin sniffed and said, "I'm much better now."

Mother Zhong's face was full of worry: "Why are you so impulsive this time? Such a big thing, at least discuss it with us."

"Mom, this is not impulsive." Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes were firm, "I always thought that I could just endure it, but life is not like that. It's good for Chen Yu and me to separate now."

Mother Zhong held her daughter's hand and continued to persuade her, "But if you get divorced, your future life will be so difficult. If you can't bring yourself to do that, I'll go talk to Chen Yu."

"Mom~" Zhong Xiaoqin stamped her feet, acting a little spoiled and helpless, "What are you talking about? He and I are divorced, why are you still looking for him? Just think about it, if my dad just fiddled with fish all day and ignored you, would you be able to live like this?"

Mother Zhong sighed: "It's normal for men to have some hobbies. No matter what Chen Yu is like, at least he is safe and sound, and he just likes to raise some fish, how great is that."

"Mom, if you keep doing this, I will ignore you." Zhong Xiaoqin pouted and complained: "He would stay by the fish tank every day after get off work and never come to my company to pick me up after get off work. He talked more to the fish than to me. I feel suffocated when I think about the past."

Mr. Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up in a steady tone: "If you really can't live together anymore, then just get a divorce."

Zhong Xiaoqin burst into laughter instantly, full of gratitude: "Thank you, Dad!"

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's firm attitude, Zhong's mother had to give up for the time being and instead advised: "Then you should move back. If you live with Xiaoyuan, he will have to worry about you."

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she could only whisper, "Oh."

Lin Yuan smiled and took over the conversation: "It's nothing, actually. Sister Xiaoqin takes care of me more."

Mother Zhong glanced at her delicate daughter, smiled and waved her hands: "How can she take care of others?"

Lin Yuan smiled gently: "I feel lonely living alone, but it's much more interesting with Sister Xiaoqin by my side."

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to confront Zhong's father and mother about his relationship with Zhong Xiaoqin. After all, there was still a long way to go.

Afterwards, the family sat around the dining table to eat, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

After dinner, Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin returned to Grand Hyatt together on the pretext of packing their luggage.

After they returned home, they began their sweet double act in tacit understanding. Time passed quietly in their sweet words. It was not until dark that Zhong Xiaoqin simply packed a few clothes and cosmetics and returned to her parents' home.

Monday, the night is getting darker.

Zhong Xiaoqin was wearing a property management uniform and black high heels, sitting on the edge of the dining table. Lin Yuan's arm was passing through her legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, advancing in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, the cell phone in the uniform pocket beeped.

Zhong Xiaoqin took out her cell phone and the word "Mom" flashed on the screen. She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

"Xiaoqin, you haven't finished get off work yet tonight?"

"Mom," Zhong Xiaoqin paused, her voice trembling unconsciously, "I have to work overtime today."

"Should I leave some food for you?"

"No need." Zhong Xiaoqin said in a calm tone. She caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan's half-smiley eyes and her ears turned red. "Mom, I'm hanging up first."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoqin showed a slightly resentful expression, put her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, and muttered: "After telling my parents, I have to go home every day. My mother still mentions Chen Yu in front of me from time to time. What should I do?"

Lin Yuan smiled indifferently: "They will know it eventually. You are single, and I am single too. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhong Xiaoqin was still a little worried and frowned slightly: "That's what you said, but, isn't it too fast?"

"Then let's talk about it in two months. Don't go back tonight. Just say you got off work too late and stay at Gu Jia's house. We'll try later."

Gu Jiaru woke up as usual, with Xu Huanshan sleeping beside her.

But after she walked out of the room, she realized something was wrong. She should have been inspecting the factory in Hunan with Xu Huanshan, so why did she return to Junyuefu community?
Is this another dream?
She looked at the time again and found that a whole week had passed since she went to Hunan.

I can't remember anything about that week.

She went to Xu Ziyan's room again, and Xu Ziyan was also sleeping soundly.

She pinched herself hard and felt the pain was real.

After practicing yoga for a while as usual, she went to prepare breakfast for Xu Huanshan and Xu Ziyan.

Xu Huanshan went out to work and Xu Ziyan was sent to kindergarten. Gu Jia was alone at home, absent-mindedly daydreaming.

But suddenly, a bubble appeared in front of him, and then a figure walked out. It was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan walked to Gu Jia and prepared to hold her in his arms.

Gu Jia quickly dodged and scolded, "What are you doing?"

"Sister Jia, don't worry, it's just a dream." Then Lin Yuan shook his head in self-mockery, "Why should I explain to the person in the dream? She won't know anything anyway."

After saying that, he moved towards Gu Jia again.

Gu Jia looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?"

"This is in my dream, of course I do whatever I want."

Gu Jia frowned: "You said this was a dream, how do you prove it?"

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers lightly.

Gu Jia couldn't help but laugh. What is this boy thinking about?

But the next moment Gu Jia discovered that she and Lin Yuan had faced it calmly.

"Now you should believe that this is a dream." After saying that, Lin Yuan picked up Gu Jia in his princess arms and strode towards the room regardless of her struggle.

Gu Jia gradually realized that this was a dream and no longer resisted as she did at the beginning.

When everything calmed down, Gu Jia turned her face slightly to avoid Lin Yuan's gaze. Even though she knew it was just a dream, she was conscious after all, and she still couldn't bring herself to face Lin Yuan directly.

Lin Yuan played with her sweaty hair with his fingers, turned her face, and said with a smile: "Who told you to come into my dream?"

The next second, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared.

This shocked Gu Jia again.

Would Lin Yuan be like in my last dream, never to appear again after making love with me?

But why can I stay in the dream for so long? I don't know how long I will stay this time.

She then thought about the last time she had a dream in which she had predicted the explosion at Shen Jie's factory. If she stayed in the dream for a longer time, she might be able to learn more about the future.

After realizing this, Gu Jia calmed down and regarded the dream as a gift from God. She took care of her husband and children while concentrating on running her own dessert shop.

Although it was in a dream, she also didn't want to wrong her husband and son. Of course, it was mainly Xu Ziyan, and Xu Huanshan was just a bystander. After all, she didn't interfere in the affairs of the fireworks company.

The only thing that made her feel a little embarrassed was that Lin Yuan appeared almost every day, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, and he would appear quietly.

This time it was even at night, and Lin Yuan, as usual, did not have any extra chats. The two directly merged into one. In his words, the chat was left in reality.

This kid, is this all he thinks about in his dream?
For a moment, she was a little confused as to whether this dream was a gift to herself or to Lin Yuan.

Although I knew it was a dream and I knew it would be difficult for me to refuse, I still couldn't help feeling shy.

I wish I could have super powers like Lin Yuan.

Seeing Xu Huanshan snoring loudly, Gu Jia lowered her voice and asked, "Why can you appear whenever you want? And you have all kinds of super powers?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, saying carelessly: "Sister Jia, you love to think so much in your dreams? In my own dreams, of course, I can think whatever I want. I can even pick the stars for you."

"boast."

Gu Jia rolled her eyes at him. Her body had gradually gotten used to Lin Yuan. Before she knew it, her arms had already wrapped around his neck.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that doing it for a long time will make women become docile? Should I try it in the real world?"

These words scared Gu Jia so much that her expression changed immediately.

Lin Yuan didn't care, and even turned Gu Jia's face to the people around him. Gu Jia subconsciously held her breath.

But sometimes, her body would betray her will.

The days went on one after another, and Gu Jia only felt that the daily time passed by like a flash. Only the time she spent with Lin Yuan was so long that every second could be clearly heard.

On this day, Mrs. Li mentioned the Xiangxi Tea Factory in the circle of other wives and wanted to sell it. Gu Jia was immediately attracted.

Although Xu Huanshan strongly opposed it, Gu Jia was very optimistic about the tea factory, because in her mind the fireworks company was always like a powder keg that could explode at any time. With the tea factory as a fallback, they would not end up like Shen Jie.

According to her calculations, this tea factory will be able to pay back its investment within half a year.

Moreover, Mrs. Li claimed that the first payment was only 1.5 million, and the remaining money would be paid slowly over three years.

Gu Jia quickly signed the contract with Mrs. Li.

But on the day of the field investigation, she found out that not only was the tea factory in a loss on paper, but its organic certification had expired for half a year, and there were even two prosecution cases. It was obvious that she had been cheated.

When she asked about Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li turned her face away and sneered at her, saying that the contract had been signed and all the money should be remitted to her.

Gu Jia felt extremely guilty. She never expected that her stubbornness would cause her family to suffer such a huge loss.

Even though I know this is a dream, the pain of this loss is still real. If I stay in this dream for a very long time, how can I make up for such a huge loss?
In grief, she slowly lost consciousness.

……

Gu Jia suddenly opened her eyes, her pajamas soaked with cold sweat stuck to her back, and she was breathing heavily.

Xu Huanshan came over and asked with concern: "Wife, are you okay?"

Gu Jia's throat tightened and she was a little embarrassed to face Xu Huanshan. After all, she had done many ridiculous things in her dream.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."

She glanced at the time on her phone and found herself back in reality.

Fortunately, I came back in time. In that situation, the pain would have increased with every extra day I stayed there.

Xu Huanshan stood up and opened the curtains, letting in the sunlight: "Then let's pack our bags quickly so as not to miss our flight this morning."

Gu Jia responded: "Okay."

Sitting on the plane back to Shanghai, Gu Jia looked at the clouds outside the window and began to reflect silently.

First, I trusted Mrs. Li too much, and second, I acted too radically and carelessly in the dream, which led to me falling into Mrs. Li's trap.

She couldn't help but think of what Lin Yuan once said to her, "Although some people are extremely wealthy, their moral character, thoughts, and culture are not at the same level at all."

That Mrs. Li, who was obviously extremely wealthy, actually set up a scheme to defraud their family of their hard-earned fortune. She was so shameless.

……

The experience in the dream gave Gu Jia some reflection, but it did not make her timid.

She is still a very proactive person. The location for the dessert shop has been selected, and the necessary equipment such as baking and storage have also been prepared. She only needs to wait for the decoration to be completed before she can open for business.

According to the progress, the store will be officially opened in one or two weeks.

Lin Yuan went downstairs to Gu Jia's house.

Xu Huanshan went on a business trip to the capital again, and this time Lin Youyou was still there to receive and accompany him throughout the trip.

Seeing Lin Yuan appear, Gu Jia's heart tightened, and the intimate scene of the two of them at home in her dream couldn't help but emerge.

"Sister Jia, you don't welcome me?"

Gu Jia looked at his serious expression and felt a little bit of a contrast in her heart.

Dreams can naturally amplify people's desires, and she herself is the same.

However, in order to prevent bad things from happening, it is better to gradually distance yourself from Lin Yuan in the future.

But how to distance yourself?
I just opened a dessert shop with Lin Yuan. I can't just kick Lin Yuan out or quit.

As long as he behaves himself in reality, let him be.

Gu Jia stood up and poured two glasses of water, then smiled and said, "You're overthinking. How come you have time to come here today?"

The last time Lin Yuan came was the day before Zhong Xiaoqin’s birthday. It has been a long time since he last showed up.

Seeing that Gu Jia had no resistance to him, Lin Yuan felt relieved.

It seems that Zhang Ailing was right.

Even though it was a dream, the feeling was real.

Lin Yuan took the water cup and took a sip: "I came here just to ask about the progress of the dessert shop. To be honest, I feel a little sorry for leaving it all to you."

"It's nothing. You paid a lot. In about a week, the decoration will be almost finished."

"Is Zi Yan not back yet?"

"It should be soon. Sister Chen went to pick him up from school."

"Then call my sister tonight and go out together."

Gu Jia raised her eyebrows slightly, then nodded in response: "Okay."

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to continue teasing, and took his time to unravel the mystery.

The day before the dessert shop officially opened, Gu Jia invited Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni to come and taste the dessert.

Although it is a dessert shop, it is decorated like a luxurious living room of a wealthy family.

The interior of the store is extremely exquisitely decorated, with antique furniture and ornaments from old Paris. The color combination is gorgeous and eye-catching, and paired with English tea sets, the style is elegant.

Gu Jia came over with an exquisite dessert plate. On the plate were beautifully shaped macarons, golden and crispy soufflé, and cream cake dotted with fresh strawberries. A rich sweet fragrance filled the air.

"I feel like I'm going to gain weight again after eating." Zhong Xiaoqin held the spoon in her mouth, looked around with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but admire, "Gu Gu, the decoration of this store is too exquisite."

"Yes, Gu Jia, a store like this must cost a lot of money."

Wang Manni's eyes were full of envy. She also wanted to live such a life, and she was even more determined to hold on to Liang Zhengxian.

Little did people know that the now glamorous Gu Jia once accompanied Xu Huanshan from a small design studio, and endured countless days of staying up all night to modify plans and begging clients for what they have today; while Wang Manni has been waiting for a rich man to come out of nowhere, fantasizing that the fairy tale of the prince and Cinderella can be staged for her and take her away from the ordinariness of day after day.

Gu Jia was also very happy listening to the two girls' praises.

"Lin Yuan and I opened this dessert shop together. I contributed one million and he contributed two million, but we used Xiaoqin's name."

"Ah?" Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't hide her surprise, "Why didn't he tell me? No wonder he asked me to fill out the business documents last time."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Maybe I want to give you a surprise."

Zhong Xiaoqin snorted: "I'll go ask him later."

The three girls ate snacks and chatted about the interesting things that had happened to them recently.

After leaving here, Zhong Xiaoqin went to Junyue Mansion.

Lin Yuan didn't even tell her directly about such a big thing. She was going to let him have a good taste of the squats she had been practicing hard recently.

……

Although she was tricked by Mrs. Li, Gu Jia was still reluctant to give up these resources from the wives' circle.

She thought that as long as she looked carefully, she would still be able to find useful resources.

That day, Lin Yuan wandered into the dessert shop out of boredom.

They call it helping, but in fact they just want to eat meat.

The two of them leaned behind the carved bar, listening to the ladies competing and showing off under the crystal chandelier.

Mrs. Li sat firmly in the center, with a noble temperament. She lowered her eyes and put down her teacup, saying lightly, "My family also has a tea factory in Xiangxi."

Mrs. Liu at the side echoed: "I've never heard you say that."

"We have this tea garden and production line, and we have the organic label. I want to sell it recently. Who wants to take it over? I can sell it to you at a low price."

These wives usually live a luxurious life relying on the pocket money given by their husbands. How could they afford to buy a tea factory?

Seeing that all the ladies were silent, Mrs. Li looked up at Gu Jia.

"Gu Jia, are you interested?"

Gu Jia originally thought that she should just not be fooled by Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li actually set her sights on her. Thinking that she was trying to trick her, Gu Jia felt a little unhappy and wanted to play a trick on Mrs. Li.

Gu Jia smiled sweetly, her eyes revealing some genuine interest: "Yes."
